*KIND REMINDER: English isn't my lenguage*

So, this is the second part of my story "Life After You", but it can be easily read individually, at the end I will add some points explaining who is who, I just created two new characters so it will not be difficult to understand.

But if you want to read the first part and let me know what you think I will thank you infinitely. You can find it on my profile :D

As I explained in the first chapter of the first part, some years ago I wrote this story, however in the last months I added some more chapters. My point is, I've always loved and I'll love Teddy and Owen together, I feel that they are really meant to be, they've gone through so many things together and both know how the other thinks. I really hope Teddy will come back later in season 14 and see what happens between her and Owen, although I honestly doubt it *cries* so at least in my fic they are meant to be. So if you're a fan of Owen and Amelia, this probably will not be to your liking.

Don't forget to tell me with a comment what do you think of the first chapter of this second part and/or what do you think will happen. ;)

As the first part, as well as each chapter and in general almost everything I write, the title of this story is inspired by the song "Turning Page" by Sleeping At Last.


Chapter 1

Chasing Pavements

I've made up my mind, don't need to think it over If I'm wrong I am right don't need to look no further, this ain't lust, I know this is love...


The next few weeks the idea of visiting Seattle continued to spin around Teddy's head, even consulted it with Arizona and Callie; although she didn't tell them the real reason for her visit obviously her friends were happy to see her again, not knowing that Teddy actually wanted to go back to Settle to see how Owen was doing and why he had cut off all communication with her(*).

So one day sending a newsletter to all the staff of MEDCOM letting them knows that she would be away for a few weeks Teddy searched and booked two tickets to Seattle.

When the day finally arrived Teddy was extremely anxious, her hands were sweating, her legs trembled and the nausea didn't let her think clearly, she would finally see Owen again after almost four years. For her part Angela(**) was completely excited to meet Seattle but especially to see her aunties, Arizona and Callie and her cousin Sophia, she was also excited to use for the first time her little suitcase of Princess Merida that her grandfather(***) had given her.

Teddy and Angela went to the station where they would take the train that would take them to Berlin and later take a plane to Seattle. The only thing that soothed Teddy was her little angel's company who wouldn't stop asking questions like "Mommy, how is Seattle like? Who else lives there? Will we stay there forever? Will we sleep in a hotel? Can we go to New York to visit Grandpa?" When Teddy least expected it the flight attendants announced the descent at Seattle-Tacoma airport.

Taking a Taxi that would take them to Arizona and Callie's house, where they would stay, Teddy couldn't avoid the avalanche of memories of her time in this city; her arrival, the disappointment of knowing that Owen loved someone else, moving on, meet the man who made her happy for the first time in a long time and who would give her the best gift a man can give a woman, his death and finally her departure to Germany.

Getting out of the car, Angela immediately ran to ring the bell of her aunts' house while Teddy took the suitcases out of the taxi. Sophia, who knew that they would arrive at any moment, opened the door with a huge smile on her face. Both girls hugged each other, although it was only a few months ago that she and her moms had been visiting Germany, both had formed a strong bond of friendship, so it was very special to see each other again. Her conversations on Skype were extremely entertaining, Angela teaching German words to Sophia and her teaching Angela words in Spanish.

"Tía Teddy!" Sophia yelled as she ran to hug her aunt, her mothers behind her.

"I can't believe you're here". Arizona said as she hugged her best friend. "But let's go inside, you sure are tired of the long trip".

Just when they all were inside the house Arizona's pager began to ring.

"I'm very sorry but I have to go, tiny humans need me but I swear that as soon as I am free I'll return". Arizona said, sorry for leaving her guests.

"I'll go with you". Teddy said.

"Are you sure? You have just arrived from a ten hours flight. Don't you want to rest?"

"I'm fine. Callie, would you mind staying with the girls for a while?"

"Not at all! Luckily it's my day off. What do you say if the three of us make cookies for when your mommies return?"

"YES!" Angela and Sophia shouted at the same time.

"Go, we'll be fine." Callie said.

Once in the car on the way to Grey Sloan, Arizona couldn't help said whit a huge grin. "You don't fool me".

"How?" Teddy asked, she was distracted looking at the city out the window as if it were her first time in Seattle.

"I said you don't fool me. I know you're here to see Callie and me but the main reason of your trip is Owen, isn't it?"

"I hate how much you know me". Teddy said pretending to be offended.

"I'm your best friend, it's my duty to know you. I've witnessed all your moods, angry, happy, sad, stressed and anxious; I've seen you naked and even giving birth, you can't hide anything from me Theodora Altman". Arizona said with a wink and her dimpled smile.

"Well, you haven't seen me having sex". Teddy laughed.

"That's what you think".

"WHAT?!"

"Honey, let's just say the walls of the on call rooms are not exactly thick and you and Henry were not exactly quiet. Besides, do you remember when you two inaugurated your new apartment? Coincidentally you and he had 'a problem to solve whit the sink's tap' even Bailey and Owen realized what you were doing in the bathroom". Arizona said laughing.

Teddy couldn't control the boiling blush on her cheeks and even her neck, but at the same time she couldn't help feeling sad remembering all the good times she had in this city, the good times with Henry.

Once in the Grey Sloan Memorial, Arizona ran to attend her emergency with the tiny humans leaving Teddy wandering around the hospital. Everything had changed, however, it seemed as if time had not passed, the same people, the same job, the same elevator where she first saw Henry, the same cafeteria where they used to eat, talk and joke, the same O.R. where his heart gave up leaving her and her little angel to never to come back.

After about three hours wandering around the hospital, meeting up with old colleagues and catching up with the latest gossip Teddy decided to go to the attending's room; she couldn't find Owen despite that he was on call and he wasn't in surgery so waiting for Arizona was the best option, maybe tomorrow she would have better luck.

Owen had finally finished his shift; completely exhausted he went to the attending's room to take his stuff and retire home, alone; when he opened the door he couldn't believe what he saw, he felt as if his eyes and the fatigue were playing a bad joke on him.

She was there; although in appearance she was a little different her eyes couldn't lie to him. Teddy. She had come back into his life. Owen couldn't do more than run to wrap her in his arms...

"You're here, you're here…" It was the only thing Owen could say amid the tears of joy he couldn't help pouring.


Song: Chasing Pavements - Adele


(*) After Teddy left for Germany she and Owen remained good friends, however after Angela's christening, of whom he is godfather, almost 4 years ago Owen cut off all communication with her.

(**) Angela is Teddy and Henry's daughter, she found out about her pregnancy the same day Owen fired her from Seattle Grace Mercy West.

(***) Nicholas Altman is Teddy's father, he is a very important attorney and lives in New York. Since Teddy decided to go to Baghdad they both lost communication because he didn't approve of her decision. Before Angela was born both made peace.
